The Quality Improvement Development and Innovation Scheme (QIDIS) project on rehabilitation looked at the rehabilitation services available for people with bone sarcoma. The project looked at both the patient and health and care professional views or rehabilitation services. The aim was to develop an improved model for rehabilitation across the UK with effective and seamless rehabilitation care.

One of the findings of this project was that there was not enough written information for patients on rehabilitation services. To address this, Sarcoma UK have worked in conjunction with the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore to create this information on rehabilitation for sarcoma patients with input from the four other bone sarcoma centres in the UK; Newcastle, Oxford, Birmingham and Oswestry.

Special thanks to the East Anglia Sarcoma Support Group members who kindly reviewed this information before its publication.
